In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Thanks for the kind comments (I'm still in MO); the death was that of my stepfather, nearly 90, and until a month ago in very good physical health (although his mental faculties had all but failed a year ago). A WWII vet, he was interred 6/15 at Ft. Leavenworth with full military honors (including my strapping on my sailor suit).

So it's hard to have regrets for someone who had a full, long, life and expired without pain or suffering.

Thanks God for our fathers who went off to save the world. My dad (a WWII Marine) would be 96 this year. I am thankful you had your Dad that long.

Once again I and the Dynamic Duo (Maggie and Casey) hit the road 7/18 for my sister's in NW MO, thence to the Nebraska Star Party, then return for a week at my sister's (wrapping up Dad's things, mostly selling the Stuff in the Basement). Outbound, I hope to swing by Cookeville, TN to look around and maybe meet carlflack.

(BTW, I guess I'm getting my money's worth from StaRV II - I've already put 4,500 miles on her since getting in January this year. Yearend will probably total around 10,500.)

If you see us, wave.
